Choosing the type of funeral

In Ireland, the majority of families arrange a funeral ceremony or service to mark the life of a loved one. This could be a religious ceremony held in a church or other place of worship, or it could be a civil ceremony held in Massey Bros.’ own venue (The Haven) or another location of your choice.

The committal can take the form of burial or cremation. This decision can be influenced by a range of factors including the wishes of the person who has died, family tradition or religious observance. The committal may take place as part of a funeral ceremony or separately to it, either before or afterwards.

Whatever you decide, Massey Bros. will put in place the appropriate arrangements to ensure the funeral ceremony/committal is exactly as you would like it to be.

Massey Bros. have experience of arranging funerals across all religions and cultures including Humanist and civil funerals. We also offer families a unique space (The Haven) in which they can hold a funeral ceremony customised entirely to their own requirements. We are also the only funeral directors to cater for those who have made Ireland their home, but who would like their remains to be repatriated to the place they called home on their passing by offering the country’s first and only pre-paid international repatriation plan.

We are here to guide you every step of the way and to arrange a funeral unique to your family which is a fitting tribute to your loved one.

“Just a short note to thank you so much for your support and help to us in organising our brother’s funeral recently. It was a great comfort to all of the family to have such a dignified funeral ceremony.

We particularly appreciated you advice on the liturgy for the funeral mass. Our thanks also to Rod and Peter for their courtesy and support on the day of the funeral”
